Abstract
The authors present results from performance measurements of application services. They have chosen widely available implementations of the file transfer protocols File Transfer Access and Management (FTAM) and FTP, and the transaction protocols Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE) and Sun's Remote Procedure Call (SunRPC). The measurements have all been run on the same Sun 3/60 workstations over Ethernet, using protocol-independent benchmarks. A tool called SICS Protocol Implementation Measurement System (SPIMS) is used for the measurements. It is structured as a protocol, with two peer entities communicating with each other using the service of the measured protocol. The authors describe how SPIMS can be used to measure response time, throughput, and the time to open and close connections. They describe the protocols and their implementations, and draw some conclusions, and present and comment on the results.Keywords
